Got a call from someone claiming to be from a “telephone help service” wanting me to verify the company info they supposedly had for some “free listing.” I asked for her name and she said Josephine Cane but sounded unsure about how to spell it. When I pressed for the office address, she said she couldn’t share that. I just hung up and have blocked the number since then.

Had a pretty similar run-in - she knew some stuff about us that’s actually out there publicly, but when I asked her where exactly she got the info from, like if it was a site or some printed directory, she just hung up on me straight away. The number shows up if you do 1471 and the voicemail politely says if you want your number removed, press 1. But there’s no other option, pressing 2 or waiting to speak to a human just leads to the call being cut off by them. How on earth are they allowed to get away with that?

I got a call from someone claiming to be from a "telephone help service" trying to verify my company's info. When I asked them what info they already had, the call suddenly cut off. Feels like they were trying to scam or fish for info.

This lady from South Africa was really pushy and got quite rude when I asked why she was calling. When I asked her which company she was with, she said "Telephone Help Service." I looked them up online while she kept trying to get info about my business. When I politely kept questioning her about her company, she lost her temper. Honestly, it’s a shame you’ve got stuck with such a dodgy outfit. You’d do better to find another job, honestly, for your own good.

They first wanted to verify info about our free listing, which I was ok with. But then they began asking stuff like how many phone lines we've got and who our provider is. Looks like just another cold caller trying to disguise a sales pitch for phone services. Pretty annoying!

I received a call asking me to verify the particulars of our complimentary listing, which I was okay with. However, they then began probing about the number of phone lines and which provider we use. It felt like yet another cold call, likely attempting to sell me telecom services while masquerading as something else entirely.

I got a call from a lady with an American or maybe Aussie accent asking to verify business info for some sort of listing. Thing is, we’re not a business and don’t appear on any directories, so it felt like she was just trying to fish for info. Definitely suspicious to me.

Just had a call from this number, bit strange actually. The lady spoke with an American accent and mentioned something about updating the business details. She then said my business name correctly, but then quickly claimed she dialled the wrong number. I told her, hang on, you've called me and that’s definitely my business name, so how can it be wrong? She insisted once more she had the wrong number and then suddenly ended the call. Really odd.

She called saying she was there to refresh my free business listing. She already had my phone number and postcode, then started asking about the age of my phone system, the number of handsets, and the brand. I told her that was private and not something I was sharing. She hung up straight away. Felt really suspicious to me.
